THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THE 1995 NISSAN HARDBODY PICKUP IS RUSTING APART, THIS IS THE SECOND TRUCK OF THIS TYPE IVE OWNED AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NO LONGER DEEMED SAFE BY MECHANICS TO MEET N.C.D.M.V. INSPECTION STANDARDS . THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE SAME AS THE NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCKS RECALLED, COIL ROLLED FRAME AND NO DRAINAGE FOR WATER, MUD, SALT ETC ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME.

I BOUGHT A ONE OWNER LOW MILEAGE 63,000 MILES 1995 NISSAN KING CAB 4X4 TRUCK. I TOOK IT IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND WAS REFUSED SERVICE DUE TO THE FRAME DEEMED UNSAFE TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE WHILE RESTING ON THE VEHICLE LIFT. I HAVE DOCUMENTED WORK ORDERS FROM ZIEBART STATING WHEN NEW FROM THE DEALER UNDERCOATING WAS APPLIED AND YEARLY INSPECTED FOR THE DURATION OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY (10 YRS). STILL THE FRAME IS 40% GONE. DOES NISSAN UNDERSTAND MY BLUE BOOK VALUED TRUCK OF $5,300.00 IS NOT ONLY WORTHLESS IT COULD KILL ME OR OTHERS WHEN THE FRAME DOES COLLAPSE UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY USAGE. PLEASE NISSAN DO SOMETHING! *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A ONE OWNER TRUCK. I HAVE CAREFULLY MAINTAINED AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP A SERIOUS FRAME RUST PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND CORPORATE USA NISSAN. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS MY REPEATED REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. I CAN NOT BE CERTAIN AT WHAT POINT THE TRUCK BECOMES UNSAFE TO OPERATE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP TO PREVENT ANY SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AS OTHER MANUFACTURES HAVE IN THE PAST. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PICKUP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTICED SMALL HOLES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FRAME. THE MECHANIC PATCHED UP ALL THE HOLES, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A FRAME SPECIALIST, WHO REPLATED THE FRAME WITH STEEL. THE VEHICLE AGAIN WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE CROSS MEMBER WAS CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AGAIN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.
